1985 Mercedes Benz 300 Sd S-class Turbo Diesel - One Owner Only 123k Miles on 2040-cars
Stuart, Florida, United States
A one-owner 1985 Mercedes Benz 300 SD S-Class turbo diesel. This S-Class diesel has only 122,800 miles. It has always been garaged, never any smokers, no accidents, rust or bdy work. The Astral silver exterior is like-new. The car has never been to an auto car wash, and has always been handwashed. The dark blue leather interior is in excellent condition, with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The MB 300 SD has been dealer maintained since new. The tires are new with only 2000 miles. The Mercedes battery is two years old, and comes with a built in battery maintainer. The diesel engine also has a factory block heater. Equipment includes power windows, power seats, cruise control, and power sunroof. The stereo is an AM/FM cassette from the factory. Weather band is included, as is a power antenna. I purchased this fine Mercedes Benz from a dealer in Maryland, and kept the car at my home in Annapolis, MD until bringing the car to my home in Stuart, FL in 2005. It has alway been garaged, and has been well cared for since new. A car phone was installed in 1985, and it still mounted in the car, but is inoperable at present. The turbo diesel has plenty of power, and gets approximately 26 mpg on the highway. This S-Class Mercedes is one of the finest models Mercedes built. The ride is firm, but luxurious. At car shows, this fine automobile always gets high marks. While not a show car, it is as nice as a 1985 daily driver can get. Among some of the recent upgrades are new brakes, new engine mounts, and new tires. The car is comfortable, quiet, safe, and economical. There are no scratches or dents. There is one parking lot ding on the right rear door. And the windshield has a small chip smaller than a dime. The air conditioning system needs to be recharged. And we upgraded the headlights to brighter, sharper fixtures. Amber fog lamps are great at night or in rain or fog. If you want a fine, classic Mercedes Benz sedan, here is a fine example of an S-Class sedan.

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
